Yesterday I had a pretty pessimistic take on Kobe Bryant playing in Wednesday’s season opener. After it was revealed he’d again not practiced, opting instead to “get some shots up” and receive treatment there seemed to be too little progress made in the last 10 days for me to feel comfortable about him being available in three days.
Well, Sunday proved to be a big step forward for Kobe and, it seems, for him being available for the season’s first game.
Kobe Bryant was a full participant in practice today and he was able to do everything physically.
